    We'll start with basic techniques by focusing on tonal values and controlling the spread of the pigment. Our first artwork will feature tender and minimal Transparent Rose Petals.

    We'll continue exploring the watercolour medium, talking about colour palettes. We'll make our own reference photos and will paint transparent branch with eucalyptus leaves.

Each Lesson, One Step at a Time

Each unit is built around one artwork. As we paint it together, I'll guide you through the techniques behind it — why the brush moves this way, why the water does that. You'll finish every lesson with both a skill and a painting.

  • Learn the core technique for this artwork — with plenty of time to practice before we move on

  • Mix colors that feel harmonious together — I'll show you exactly which shades work and why

  • Lay down your first brushstrokes and watch the transparency begin to appear

  • Build soft, natural texture the way watercolor does it best

  • Add the finishing details that make the painting come alive

Bonus: Learn to photograph your artworks

So that your talent stand out on any social media platform

In Unit 5, I’ll share what I’ve learned from over 10 years of photographing my watercolor artworks for Instagram. You’ll discover how to style and capture your paintings beautifully, creating eye-catching photos. Build a strong and recognizable artistic presence — just like I did with my community of 100K followers!

Award-winning watercolor artist from Norway, now based in Cyprus Katerina Kolberg

I received the Visuelt Gold Award in 2020 for botanical illustration — Norway's most prestigious design prize. My transparent flower work has been licensed by Rituals and commissioned by Elisabeth Arden. Watercolor is, for me, a form of meditation.

The course has a lot of practice, very high quality content, and it's also very coolly filmed. And it's suitable for both beginners and advanced levels. I've been wanting to master this technique for a long time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough skills and patience. But I was surprised at how well I started to do. The artist introduces botanical illustration in a very professional and gentle way, sharing all the secrets and falling in love with the world of watercolor step by step. Thank you, Kateryna, for this interesting experience! It was very cool, I'm so excited!

Simple Supplies, Stunning Results

What You’ll Need: 12 basic colors, 3 brushes, cotton paper, tracing paper

As a professional illustrator, I use high-quality watercolor paints, but you don’t need to invest in expensive materials to get started. In fact, a basic set of 12 colors, including black and your favorite vibrant shades, is all you need to create stunning Transparent Flowers. With just a few brushes—one larger for washes and two smaller for details—and some cotton paper for layering, you can achieve professional-looking results. Add a couple of sheets of tracing paper to easily transfer your designs, and you’re ready to paint beautiful art without breaking the bank. Let’s keep it simple and accessible, while still making amazing work!
